Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

Orange/tan in color. Nice head and carbonation. Flavors are sugar and spice, nutmeg and light cinnamon--good aftertaste that lingers on the palate. Not the best pumpkin ale, but by far not the worst.

Orange color. Nice aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. Nicely carbonated. Pretty cool blend of pumpkin cinnamon and allspice. Pretty good.

Interesting. I’m glad I tried it, but I wouldn’t get it again. Pours a normal copper-amber, with a good-sized head and good retention. Aroma is just odd - take raison d’etre and add old pumpkin pie to it. Not a smell I’d call intriguing or appetizing. The flavor definitely has pumpkin, along with pie spices - but it just doesn’t go. It’s like someone dropped a small spoonful of pumpkin pie batter in a normal beer and stirred. The palate is perfectly agreeable, but I can’t think of a good use for this brew.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium gold, white head. Smell a lot of allspice, very holidayish. Taste is allspice as well, not a fav.

Pour is deep amber with a small white head. The aroma is mostly clove and cinnamon that usually dominate pumpkin flavored beers. The flavor actually has a definite pumpkin flavor with is nice. The spice is not too strong, but still very noticeable. The malt is the dominate **beer** flavor, sweet and almost caramelly. Med body, decent offering from a great brewer.

Bottle. Pours clear copper with an off-white head. The aroma isn’t the big blast of pumpkin pie that I expected, but it is there. Creamy medium body and active carbonation.Toffee and pumpkin pie taste. Dry cinnamon and nutmeg finish. I don’t know why I keep buying pumpkin beer - it never gets beyond ordinary in taste.

Amber brown with consistent visible carbonation and a small eggshell head that, even though small, lasts a good while. Aroma is nicely balanced with some faint nutmeg and other spices. Flavor is full of peppery spices along with caramel and floral hop. Cinnamon can be tasted as the beer warmed as can alcohol. Feel is creamy and smooth but a bit lifeless. A very late bitter aftertaste. A nice Fall seasonal beer.

Pours light orangish yellow with a thin white head. Smells like a runny malt beverage with some cinnamon and some cream. Tastes like punkin’ pie, straight up. Mouthfeel is medium yet runny with a stunning but well hidden alcohl presence. Surprise,, it is a shark brew afterall. Taste has some overwhelming creamy cinnamon spice notes as well. This is the best shot for your girl after she’s had the Michelob ultra lime and cacti at Christmas. A delicious desert brew for the fall season.
